    About this ebook

    Samuel awakes from a forced landing on the Rocky Mountain's harsh western slopes. The First Echelon's missiles made short work of their attempt to join the rebellion. His wife, Lisa, lies unconscious but breathing. In a cruel twist of fate, only one vial of the miraculous Everbreathe remains.

    Will Samuel choose to die for his love, or grant her the gift of life, at the expense of his own?
